Hi,
I've been trying to install spamassassin for a week or so now and I think I
finally have an idea of where the problem is, but not what it is and how to
fix it.
When I start spamd with the -C command-line option spamassassin will not
correctly identify the GTUBE message as spam. But if I start spamassassin
without the -C command-line option it will correctly identify GTUBE as spam.
As Duncan pointed out the -C option forces a new *default* rules directory.
Thus, pointing -C to an empty directory will cause SA to have no rules at
all in it's configuration.
-C should generally be left alone, it's usually only useful to developers
that have multiple images of the main ruleset, although some advanced users
may find use of it.
I think the option you wanted was --siteconfig, but you may not want to
even specify that.
If you really want to use something other than /etc/mail/spamassassin for
your init.pre and local.cf use the --siteconfig command line option.
However, if you're just going to use /etc/mail/spamassassin, don't even
specify that.
